In large mixing bowl, beat butter until light and fluffy. Add the sugar and beat for 10 minutes on medium speed. Add four of the eggs, one at a time, and beat well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a separate bowl. Add to the butter mixture and stir to form soft, cohesive dough. Add flour if dough is too soft to handle easily.

Lightly flour a work surface. Break off 2.5cm lumps of dough and roll on floured surface into ropes about 18cm long and 5mm in diameter. Cross the ends and twirl dough in a loop in the opposite direction, forming a plait. Place on baking trays about 2.5cm apart.
